ST. LOUIS WOMAN TICKLED WITH TWISTED BUMPER
STATE FARM
INSURANCE
Last year she saved $27 by insuring her car with State Farm. "Fine, Alice,"
said her hairdresser, "but are they good about paying claims?" So she's been
wondering. Now her claim's been paid so fast and fairly she knows State Farm
was a real bargain in every way. m Low rates for careful drivers so low that one
out of two may save $10, $20, $30 or more. More full-time agents and salaried .
claims men than any other company to give" you "hometown service" wher
ever you drive. H No wonder six million car owners have chosen State Farm,
and made us-for nineteen years straight-the world's largest car insurer!
YOU DON'T GIVE UP PROTECTION TO GET STATE FARM'S LOW RATES!

'T'he age of specialization
A hit me right between the
gas pumps the other day.
.: While my car was having
five gallons; a man drove in
to leave his to be washed.
"Oh, no!" cried the at
tendant. "We don't wash
. cars here."
The man's foot suspended
in mid-air. He looked as
though he'd been hit on the
head with a tire iron.
The man said not a word.
He got back in his dirty car
and drove away.
A few weeks later one of
the tires on my car went flat
half a block from another
station. I was overjoyed
at the proximity until I
trudged over and found the'
attendants there never leave
the station to change a tire,
even if a squad of 40 is on
duty. I was able to prevail
only by falling on the ce
ment and loosening a flood
of tears in the antifreeze.
Many of my friends have
a dentist for tooth-cleaning,
another for tooth-pulling,
and a third who peers into
' miniature cavities of their
offspring. And it's ;' well
known, of course, that gen
eral practitioners of medi
cine have gone to a just
reward. They have been
succeeded by eye men, ear
men, tonsil men, and men
whose field is confined to
the third toe on the left foot.
Specialization, has covered
the country like a coat of
many colors. Even in my
business. I'm a column
writer, so I do not compose
sonnets, interview athletes,
or - write copy for " tooth
paste. And even this column
is limited to the obscure by
ways of my lost thoughts.
Recently, and with some
timidity, I entered a drug
store to buy a drug. In such
times as these, I expected
to be confronted by noth
ing except rows of ipecac
and bianthrozolomine.
But there were life pre- ,
servers, plastic dishes, mon
. key wrenches, and baby
dolls. There, were picnic kits
, and cotton knits and gold
fish bowls and catnip balls.
For aspirin, I went to the
cafe on the corner.
